It is May 7, 2020, and we are on the brink of trying to return to life in our "new normal" so I'm taking this time to deluge on my biggest take-aways of this thing:
1.) The media really is about what they want from you - anger, emotion, compliance, ATTENTION - it really makes sense that all of our major news outlets are owned and controlled by ENTERTAINMENT companies. Their goal is pretty much never to inform and always to get you to keep watching. Or buying. Or voting. Or whatever.
2.) The anti-Trump people are anti-Trump NO MATTER WHAT. They don't give him any slack and jump on everything he says and does and regurgitate it to be a negative. My DH says this whole virus is really just about the upcoming US election. It's kind of hard to argue with that.
* Note: I WILL be voting for Trump if for no other reason than to just piss off the haters.
3.) The news media are EXTREMELY superficial. This virus situation has wreaked havoc on our supply-chain and caused economical consequences that we are only beginning to perceive. But the reports related to this are about how thousand of chickens were killed, or tons of milk were dumped. Explain to the American people why that happened so we/they understand the big picture. Not that we'll pay attention, which leads me to my next take-away...
4.) I hate to call them sheep, but people are really mindless, obeying zombies. They're told to "Stay Home" so they all take that as not going outside. Cops arresting a man in a park with his son when no-one else is around. People wearing masks when they're riding their bikes or driving in their car ALONE! These people obviously don't have a clue of how the virus is spread. They're just doing what they're told.
5.) BIGGEST TAKE-AWAY - The extreme left is just as bad, perhaps worse, than the extreme right. It makes me a bit sick to side with the right, but I can't help it because of how ridiculous the left has become. Perhaps a post for another day, but maybe not, because I'm really just ... done.
